The Annapolis chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby plans to cohost a pair of watch parties next month for the television series "Years of Living Dangerously."

The American documentary series, which focuses on climate change, won an Emmy in 2014 for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series.

Citizens' Climate Lobby is partnering with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis Green Sanctuary Committee to host the watch parties, which will present two "solutions-focused" episodes of the show, according to organizer Colie Young.

The first season of "Years of Living Dangerously," which lists Arnold Schwarzenegger among its executive producers, aired on Showtime beginning in April 2014. Season 2 began airing on the National Geographic Channel this October.

The first watch party is scheduled for Friday and will show Season 2's sixth episode, "Priceless." The episode, which features actress and activist Nikki Reed, explores the idea of pricing carbon, a move some activists believe is the ultimate solution to climate change.

On Dec. 9, the groups will hold a watch party for the seventh episode of Season 2, "Safe Passage." A description of the episode, which features actor Bradley Whitford, is not yet listed on the series' website.

The watch parties are scheduled to run from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Universalist Church of Annapolis, located at 333 Dubois Ave. behind the St. Mary's football field off Bestgate Road.
